C. in such manner that the conversion rate of the toluene derivative does not exceed 90%.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 1979Date of Patent: June 9, 1981Assignees: Director-General of Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Sanko Chemical Co., Ltd., Nippon Soda Co., Ltd.Inventor: Juichi Imamura

Patent number: 4263449Abstract: An alcohol is produced from a compound having an alkenyl group by a hydroformylation of said compound having an alkenyl group in a substantially water immiscible solvent in the presence of a hydroformylation catalyst which is soluble in said solvent and a hydrogenation of the reaction mixture in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst.Water is added at a ratio of 0.5 to 30 times by weight base on an aldehyde produced by said hydroformylation before said hydrogenation, and an organic phase containing the hydroformylation catalyst component is separated from a water phase containing the alcohol produced by said hydrogenation and said organic phase is recycled into said hydroformylation.The compound having an alkenyl group is an aliphatic olefin, a hydroxyolefin, and olefin ether or an olefin ester and the corresponding saturated alcohol having one more carbon atom is produced.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1980Date of Patent: April 21, 1981Assignee: Toyoda Soda Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshihiro Saito, Yukihiro Tsutsumi, Shoji Arai

Patent number: 4254276Abstract: Phenolic ethers are prepared starting from phenol or a phenolic derivative and an alkyl carbonate which are reacted at a comparatively low temperature (below 160.degree. C.) and with good yield and selectivity by using a catalytic system composed by a base, preferably a tertiary amine, and by an iodide, either organic or inorganic.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1979Date of Patent: March 3, 1981Assignee: Anic, S.p.A.Inventors: Giuseppe Iori, Ugo Romano
